133. Tomorrow and the future

Peaceful times always pass quickly, and the new era is like a galloping horse, suddenly crossing the gap of time.

In an old house in Brooklyn, Steve wears a pointed hat made of newspaper, wields a long-rod roller brush, and diligently paints the old walls, while his friend Bucky, who is gradually recovering his memory, is also cleaning the room.

It's hard to imagine that one of them, a World War II veteran of the last century, and the other an ace killer of Hydra, are now like ordinary people, wearing aprons and newspaper hats for cleaning.

Steve Rogers, in particular, the former war hero and the righteous leader of superheroes, has long been absent from public view, and can only be seen in museums and educational videos.

Captain America is satisfied with his current life, and after removing his shield and Star-Spangled Banner uniform, he seems to have invisibly escaped his past responsibilities and regained his peace of mind.

At the beginning, Steve and Sean had a long talk with each other, and then he signed the superhero agreement bill, no longer paying attention to the complicated and dark political disputes, and living a life of retirement.

Steve, who left behind his shield and flag, is now relaxed, and the confusion and hesitation of the past have dissipated.

This World War II veteran fought on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, walked through the rain of bullets, and fell into the glacier with an incomplete promise before victory came.

After waking up from a long sleep of 70 years, it was like a sleep, and when I opened the curtains, I found that the world in front of me was completely different and had changed dramatically.

The tragic war that swept the world is over, and the comrades-in-arms and partners who fought side by side with him, some of them are dying, and some are sleeping in the ground, which makes Steve's heart have a huge void that cannot be filled.

In times of peace, Captain America, as a war hero, could not find the value of his existence. The state just used him as a propaganda type, and people thought of him as a legend who came out of history, and everyone called him Captain America, but no one cared who the little man named Steve Rogers was under the uniform of the Star-Spangled Banner.

Just when Steve was at a loss, Nick Fury approached him and joined S.H.I.E.L.D. after some persuasion, but soon discovered that the so-called S.H.I.E.L.D. was not an institution that exercised justice and maintained peace.

The black director was too aloof, and in a crisis, the solution to the problem, rather than the casualties and safety, was always the first priority, which Captain America couldn't agree with.

Steve is like a lonely ghost living in the 21st century, and all his memories are still stuck in the gloomy World War II, unable to adapt to the changes in the new world.

It wasn't until later that he and Sean had a conversation at a bar, and the other party believed that it was the existence of superheroes that kept the world in turmoil and chaos.

A group of humans with great abilities, wearing uniforms and cloaks to fight criminals, they are upholding justice while ignoring the laws and rules of the country, in a sense, superheroes also belong to the ranks of criminals.

With great power comes great responsibility, but not everyone can take on heavy responsibilities and restrain their own abilities.

So instead of letting superheroes save the world, it's better to fundamentally change the world.

Steve had to admit that Sean had done a great job, and even though the superheroes had disappeared, the world was not in turmoil, and a new order was beginning to be established.

Without Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D., instead it has become more pure, committed to maintaining order and homeland security, and even the mutants who were originally persecuted can be recognized by the people in a dignified manner, and they have gotten rid of the discriminatory name of mutants and become "new humans".

Without Iron Man, Captain America, and the Avengers, the world remained peaceful and beautiful, and everyone gradually forgot about superheroes, who slowly became legends and classic characters in comic books.

"Steve, what's for dinner? There were no ingredients left at home, so we had to go to the supermarket to buy them. ”

Bucky, busy cleaning, asked.

The Winter Soldier, who slowly regains his memory, gets rid of the darkness and gloom of his past with the help of his friends, and begins to live a new life.

A long time ago, Bucky underwent a public trial in the court, serving his sentence in the Isolated Island Prison, and was officially released only after Ambrera had completely cleared the after-effects of brainwashing.

While he still has to face long-term oversight from S.H.I.E.L.D., it's a good start anyway.

"Now that you're renovating your new home, how about celebrating today, how about soup, mashed potatoes, grilled lamb chops and fried shrimp?"

The painting work is pretty much underway, Steve said with a smile on his head.

"Sounds hearty, I thought you'd ask Peter to bring me another pizza."

Bucky joked and casually turned on the TV.

“…… The World Security Council recently officially approved the 'Land Building Plan', which will provide technical support from Ambrera in Antarctica, Africa and Australia to build new science and technology cities in preparation for the future exploration of the universe...... According to the latest information, the earth will formally establish good diplomatic relations with foreign civilizations, and promote friendly exchanges of science and civilization between each other......"

The old TV was playing the news, the dusty screen scrolling with images transmitted remotely, and the occasional flash of spaceships, all tall figures, black uniforms, flame armbands, that were the Exploration Corps being formed, and they would be the first humans to march into outer space.

"It's hard to imagine, I can still remember the scene when we went to Stark Tomorrow Fair together, and at that time, Howard who was standing on the stage said that everyone is witnessing the future, and now, we are already in the future."

Steve sighed with heartfelt emotion and said with some embarrassment.

"I also remember that it was your life-changing opportunity...... Steve, you met Dr. Erskine and became Captain America. ”

Bucky also smiled and said: "Before that, you were still a little man who went out to put the newspaper on the sole of your shoes, but in the blink of an eye, you led us to defeat the Germans." ”

The two friends looked at each other and smiled, and those good memories at the beginning have now become precious images that gradually fade in their minds, and only occasionally can they be taken out and savored carefully.

"Okay, let's go to the supermarket, and while Peter's pizzeria tastes good, we can't eat it every day."

Steve puts on his coat and walks downstairs with Bucky, the sun sinking into the horizon and the steel jungle turning into a beautiful silhouette in the dusk afterglow.

The soft sunlight stretched the figures of the two people very long, and they walked on the streets of Brooklyn, as if they had returned to the last century.

Steve looks into the distance, a new era is beginning, and both he and Bucky will be witnesses.
